On Saturday 5th October 2024, I attended the annual UK Red Special guitar meet-up in Reading.
I am one of the organisers of the event but only an hour before his arrival, did we know for definite, he was attending.
At 2pm, it was announced that Sir Brian May was attending and walked through the door, to a standing ovation.
He chatted for over an hour or so, answering questions, took the time the meet people individually and did a surprise performance for us all through a replica guitar rig. I feel very privileged that the rig used was mine. It was an amazing feeling and experience to be within an arms length of Sir Brian May playing his original home-made RS through my rig, a mind blowing moment.
Thank you Sir Brian, it really did make my day. I will never forget this moment.
